James Crow

There is also the old dark house idea. A dark and stormy night, a group of people gather for the reading of a will. Each person has something to gain, more if the others meet a certain... Well lets just say end. <evil laughter> All this would talk place within one night. Of course it would be dark and stormy, in an old mansion, full of secrets. Or we could get creative and make it bright and sunny out, that would be interesting... Thats my newest idea, for this Also I promise to post my poems soon...maybe...I hope.... dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot....

Slowly Crow walks in, almost as if in a dream. Then all of a sudden reality hits and he screams. What?.?.? Yes, no.... Okay back on topic, after some confusion. I would love to do a story. Since for the last week I have been thinking in rhymes. Now my head hurts. But I do have an idea, one that has been locked away for som time. How about, The Pennite Detective Agency The main guy would be detective .... and the case would be that of the missing pennites. That is my idea for now.... I'll be back to post my poems a little tonight.

Thats it, all caught up. I love this challlenge, but fear it all the same. See you all next time. ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ I would like to thank everyone. If it wasn't for all of you, I would have quit long ago. So thank all of you so much.

Theme 51: Sport Hunt In the foreboding jungle, of a far off land. Stalks a man, hunting, but hunted all the same. His prey is elusive, but stop him, that will not. All he needs is one shot... there it is. The beast he has played tag with, for over two weeks. He readies himself, eyes down the sight, and for a second, all is quite. Then... CLICK!

Theme 50: Breaking the rules Choice A sign says do not cross a girl's on the other side she did not head the warning now she is in danger, danger of falling...down Now a choice has to be made are you going to break the rules just to save her save her from a choice by...she The clock is ticking everyone is watching watching to see your...will Everyone watching is ready ready to watch her fall or...not Now choose to save her or let her...fall

Theme 49: Stripes Zebra Black and white striped, running free. Trying to escape the lions teeth. Over the hills, through rivers, into a store, now in new clothes.

Theme 48: Childhood Taken Back in the day we where allowed to play. Now we're told that the swings are all rusted and old, no more cowboy vs indians, they are “politically” incorrect. And war is nothing to joke about, even red rover is off the list. With all this protection, is it any wounder that kids grow into a world, that they believe is as pure as snow. Only to find mud!

Theme 47: Creation Beast Deep in a cave lies a monster that I made. I hear him growl he is ready to prowl. Now that you take to me, just wait, see. The dark cave in which he resides. Is the very pupils, of my eyes.

Theme 46: Mother Nature TV Season one is the introduction of a strong cast. Season two is when the humor and fun comes in. Season three is where the drama and tragedy unfolds. Season four is when the show is canceled, and the actors all go home.

Theme 45: Illusions I see you there, in front of me. People are cheering... for me. This is no dream, no fantasy, but an illusion... I made for me.

Theme 44: Two Roads Two roads, forking in front of me. The choice to make, though mine it would seem has already been chosen, but not by me. My goals, my purpose, my dreams, all abandoned. By the thing pulling the strings. Although in the end... maybe it is all me.

Theme 42: Standing Still Move MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! Stand there no more, Show the world what you can do! MOVE, Move, move, I can't believe you, standing still now. Move, m..o..v..e.., m..o..v..e.. Why do you, refuse to move? please m...o....v.....e......

Theme 41: Teamwork Babel With one language, with one one purpose, we can build a tower to the heavens. With a fearful gaze God did say, “Man can have whatever, when they work together.” So with his power, he scattered us, out to the four corners, and befuddled our speech. But with determination, but with the internet, we shall rebuild a tower, to see the pearly gates!

Theme 39: Dreams Visions Close my eyes for me, help me to see the dream held deep in your heart. Show me a future, a future that could be. Never forget what you see in a dream. And...and always fight for what was in that dream.

Theme 43: Dying Living Though my heart beats, and the world, moves. My dreams have become stagnant, unfruitful. And my soul slowly, ever so slowly, finds no peace in its, eternal sleep. Though I go to work and talk and sing. I am just a puppet on a string. Knowing no emotion, anymore. Just as if someone, has closed a door. And now my heart feels still. As I see the rest of the world become ill. And just like me, they move without purpose. Dead in a living body. Hoping for more.

Theme 40: Rated A+ Ever since that first grade, I slowly saw my life degrade. Always trying to get back to the top. Always sliding down without stop. Never getting any better, only able to get worse as my face gets wetter. Now why, why did I get graded, from the start!

Theme 38: Abandoned I abandoned all hope and filled with fear. Till I met you and held your hand. Then hope was restored, and fear abandoned.

Theme 37: Eyes Court of Peers Everyday, just walking to work. I am on trial, for sins I didn't earn. They watch me judging, praising me, for works I did not commit. All of this pressure, befuddles and confuses me. Now I am confessing, tears that didn't sleep, eyes that fall.

Theme 36: Precious Treasure Time Capsule There is a box in the back with all the memories of my past. The treasured time when we first kissed, the picture of me proposing to you, a picture of the birth of our first, his graduation photo, a piece of his wedding cake, a family picture of us and our grandchildren. Slowly I start to realize that the greatest treasure to me, was my whole life.

Thank you Tavarilyn, and I may be some where in the double digits and you only on your singles still. But yours are all great, where mine have highs and lows. Times with the muse by my side, and others times, she forgets my name. My short stories will take a little more time, but my dream is to write a novel. I'll start that challenge, when this one is done. But now for my collection of poems. ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ ♣ Theme 35: Hold my hand I was thrown in the gutter nobody thought I was any good. You came along and said, Take my hand? I never forgot about that day. Though the time in the hourglass slowly fades away. Then I saw you, down in the mud. Tears filling your eyes. He left, he left. Was all you could cry. Hold my hand, I'll take you away from this place of the damned. Just hold on tight and everything will be alright. With a look of doubt in your eyes, you took my hand, and never let go. Now we stand on an alter, so driven to make are vows last forever.

Man, I need to get my act together. I have all the poems, just not had the time to post them. Sorry, I am realy sorry. Just give me one more day. I should have them all up by then. I think I will also start a short story...maybe two. Well that is the update for me. Thanks.

Ta-da! All caught up, now I know I said this befor but I will say it again, I will try to post more.....on time? Right ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ ♣ HAHAHAHAHA! They suspect nothing.♣ ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ (I will make that last thing clear later. Goodnight!)

Theme 34: Stars Love Some compare their love to a rose. Earthy bound, roots that hold, colors that hide the thorns below. But I compare my love to a star. Heavenly stuck, nothing around, a flame that hinders the ability to be held.

Theme 33: Expectations Heart A human heart just can't start to be understood. It keeps us alive deep inside and makes us sure we know. It pumps the blood it pumps the love through out our body. And when we're close you can almost hear only one beat slowly. And when we kiss you can not miss the increase in tempo. Now I ask, can you unmask anything that does more?

Theme 32: Night Summer Knight It was a stormy summer night. You stood crying under a flickering streetlight. Putting my hand on your shoulder saying Everything alright? He left me, left me all alone. saying good bye, with no might! He might have left you but I'll remain by your side, your white knight. As I wiped the tears from your eyes, you smiled as bright as a beam of light.
